“I am the son of Hades. I go where I wish. The darkness is my birthright.”

“A son honors his father,
And a servant his master.
If then I am the Father,
Where is my honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?”

“The darkness is my birthright.”

“Tell my father I wish to be his son.”

“Missing the Battle of Midway has been the greatest disappointment of my career, but I am going back to the Pacific where I intend personally to have a crack at those yellow bellied sons of bitches and their carriers.”

“I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in… but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted.”

“I wish I could care what you do or where you go but I can't… My dear, I don't give a damn.”

“I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I am going is what inspires me to travel it.”

“But do not ask me where I am going,
As I travel in this limitless world,
Where every step I take is my home.”

“But I welcome the darkness where the two eyes of that soft panther glow. The darkness is my cultural broth. The enchanted darkness. I go on speaking to you, risking disconnection: I’m subterraneously unattainable because of what I know.”
